2017 Winnebago ERA recalls
Shoulder Seat Belt May Not Hold in a Crash
A weld nut was installed on the wrong side of the bracket where the front shoulder belt attaches, which reduces the strength of that anchor point.
Overhead cabinet can detach and fall into cab
Certain 2012-2018 Winnebago ERA motorhomes may have an overhead cabinet shelf that was improperly attached.
Unfused Solar Charging Circuit Can Cause Fire
The auxiliary solar charging port circuit in these motorhomes is not protected by a fuse.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire
Certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers in these motorhomes may become clogged, making them hard to activate or preventing them from discharging as expected.
Radio Module Can Cause Engine Shutdown and Airbag Issues
Certain Winnebago and Itasca motorhomes from 2014 to 2017 have an Axxess radio volume control module that can interfere with the chassis electrical system.

What owners report
We experienced the collapse of the overhead storage compartment on a drive home from the West Coast on 27 August 2023 while driving 75 MPH. It was extremely fortunate that the shelf fell backwards dumping the contents on our sleeping dog. Had the shelf fell forward, it would have totally blocked the driver's vision in heavy, high speed traffic. It is also fortunate that the brunt of the collapse did not hit the drivers head, but was caught by her headrest and the passengers head, again allowing for control of the vehicle at the time of the failure. We learned afterward that there was a recall on this storage compartment due to similar failures. As second owners, we were unaware of any
THE VEHICLE LOST POWER IN MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS CAUSING OTHER VEHICLES TO LOCK UP THEIR BRAKES. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICIE JUST PURCHASED THIS NEW JUNE 8, 2017. WINNEBAGO HAS ISSUED A RECALL BUT IT IS NOT ON YOUR SITE. I WAS TOLD TO REMOVE A ACCESS MODULE THAT WAS SHORTING THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE ENTIRE UNIT WAS AFFECTED BY THIS MODULE PROBLEM. THE STEERING PHONE AND VOLUME CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE TO AVERT MY EYES TO THE CENTER OF THE UNIT WHILE DRIVING TO CONTROL VOLUME AND PHONE. THIS IS YET ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. WINNEBAGO IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.*DT*JB
